Chapter 31: Venerable Cave House, Illusory Spirit Road(1/2)
"After speculating on this result, I was shocked."
Lin Ze continued: "After thinking about it, I can't find any other possibility."
Chen Zhui nodded.
Others are not fools. If Wu Gu did not sign a god contract with others, I am afraid no one would have joined forces with him to leave the city.
Only when he signed a contract for the gods was erased by the power beyond the realm of magical powers was signed. Only then could Wu Gu find an opportunity to take action.
"Since that's the case, how could he be convicted by the Tianxin Palace?" Chen Qie said in confusion.
Since the God Contract does not exist, even if Wugu is murdered, it should not be considered a violation of the ban.
Lin Ze smiled and said, "No matter what the power at the level of this 'Venerable' is, then Wu Gu will definitely not be able to directly grasp it, and he can only borrow a little power."
Chen Zhuishen agreed. Indeed, if Wu Gu could control the power of the Venerable, he would probably not have been a small inspirational realm of Qi training. He would not have needed to use such inferior means to harm others.
"I guess he must have fallen into the last victim!" Lin Ze said.
"I guess he should have expanded his strength, so he is not satisfied with killing only the innate and middle-level people, and wanting to seize stronger warriors."
"The Wu'an Army's god contract increased with the strength of the restrained person. The warrior he made the last appointment was an innate high-level. There should be a problem here, resulting in the power of the god contract not being completely erased, but only weakened."
"When Wugu killed the innate high-level warrior... he was sensed by the Tianxin Palace and automatically determined to attack friendly forces, which violated the rules."
At this point, Chen Zhui finally understood completely.
Wu Gu accidentally gained the opportunity and was able to borrow a trace of the power of the Venerable to erase the effects of the god contract. In the least, it could also weaken the god contract to the point where it could be violated.
He was very cautious and lured his colleagues again and again, only choosing initial and intermediate warriors in the innate realm. Because of the contract of gods that restricts the innate realm, the divine powers present on it are of course weaker than the power of the spiritual bridge realm and the magical power realm.
After success again and again... Wugu aimed at the innate high-level warriors.
As for why he didn't invite the Innate Peak, because he was only the Innate Peak combat power. The contract was terminated, and it was not certain who would kill whoever was killed.
However, it was at this innate high-level level that something went wrong.
The contract of gods, in the final analysis, is the embodiment of rules.
If it is not completely erased, it will still have certain effect. This is probably the reason why Wugu was automatically judged as a traitor and a criminal by the Tianxin Palace!
"How did you go?" Chen asked. Lin Ze came to him this time, probably not just to tell him such an old story.
"I came up with this speculation, and I naturally have to confirm it as soon as possible." Lin Ze said.
"Wugu can borrow the power of the Venerable level, and it is inevitable that there will be no Venerable helping him."
"The Venerable exists, how powerful is it? How could he cooperate with him, a real person who practices Qi in a small inspiration, to do such a thing?"
"It can also be ruled out that he has a Venerable-level treasure and masters the power of the Venerable. Neither of these are controllable."
Chen Zhui nodded. Indeed, even a second-level spiritual weapon was unlikely to activate Wugu.
"Then, the biggest possibility is a secret realm." Lin Ze said excitedly.
"It is very likely that this Wugu accidentally discovered a venerable cave left by ancient times, or an extremely powerful secret realm!"
"Venerable Cave?" Chen Zhui was slightly surprised.
"Yes!" Lin Ze clenched his fists and said. "Every time this Wugu asked people to leave the city, they went to the same place. This Venerable Cave is likely to exist in the Sishui River area!"
"But unfortunately, the Sishui River is too big. I searched for it for a long time but found nothing." Lin Ze said regretfully.
"So I had to go back to Wanfeng City and submit this task."
"My knot has been untied for more than a year, and my strength has also improved greatly. I have broken through to the peak of the inspiration realm, and have the commander-level combat power. I have become the commander as I wish."
Lin Ze continued: "I originally thought that this matter was just my wishful thinking and a mistake in speculation. Perhaps Wugu had not signed a god contract with others. Perhaps it was just that Wugu was so harmful to his colleagues and caused dissatisfaction among the big shots, so that the Tianxin Palace would increase its military merit rewards..."
"Perhaps, everything is just a coincidence... After the search for nothing, I almost really thought so." Lin Ze murmured to himself.
"However, after I submitted the mission, I took a look at the mission list of Tianxin Palace without giving up."
"I didn't expect that a new commander-level mission immediately appeared in the Tianxin Palace!"
"The destination of the mission is in the Sishui River area!"
"I'm right!" Lin Ze said firmly with his eyes. "The Sishui River area is a wilderness. Few sectarians appear, only large areas of deep mountains and siege, with poisonous fog and miasma, and even few monsters."
"There are only sixty-two personal tasks related to the Sishui River area!"
"And basically collects spiritual medicines and monster materials."
"This new task that suddenly appeared is to explore the three lake islands on the Sishui River!"
Chen Zhui was shocked. In this way, it was basically certain that Lin Ze’s guess was correct!
Lin Ze smiled and said, "The Sishui River is a tributary of the Canglan River. Although it is not larger than the Canglan River, the scope is wide enough in the boundary of our Wu'an Army. Now it has been reduced to three islands in the middle of the lake, so it is naturally easy to find."
"After I probed the first island in the middle of the lake, it was just before I prepared to attack Sihaimen."
"Brother Lin has found it?" Chen Zhui's eyes lit up.
"Not bad!" Lin Ze smiled slightly. "I have discovered the population."
"Brother Lin is here for this trip, but are you invited me to go with you?"
"Of course!" Lin Ze smiled. "If I had no such intention, I wouldn't have told you so much."
"I am not that greedy Wugu. I can't eat such a big piece of fat. But if I were asked to directly report all the speculations to the Tianxin Palace, I wouldn't want to."
"Who else knows about this?"
"There is also a lieutenant who knows."
After a pause, Lin Ze said again: "On the third day after I took down this task, this task also appeared on the lieutenant-level military merit mission. To be safe, I asked Captain Cheng to take on this task too."
"Hiss~" Chen Zhuan couldn't help but take a breath after listening.
Lin Ze is not only lucky, but his meticulous and thoughtful thinking is even more amazing.
It should be noted that the commander level cannot see the lieutenant-level mission. However, he could think of Cheng Xin asking him to take a look at the military merit mission list.
And he really thought of it, and in this way, all the tasks related to this matter fell into the hands of Cheng Xin and Lin Ze.
The statues of the gods in the Tianxin Temple are only analyzed and deduced according to the rules, and the tasks are released. Of course, the execution of the specific tasks is done by people.
Although Wugu is abnormal, Tianxin Palace may not be like Lin Ze, combining everything to infer the whole story.
It only knew that Wugu had an abnormality on the three islands in the middle of the lake, and then issued a mission and sent someone to check it out. Unless Lin Ze took the initiative to provide all the information.
"Why didn't Captain Cheng Xin come together?"
Lin Ze said frankly: "I did not tell the lieutenant everything. I just made it clear that through the Wugu incident, I found some suspicious points, which may involve some information about the ruins of ancient sects."
"You have to try it yourself before you decide whether to report it."
"Hmm? Cheng Xin doesn't know the whole story?" Chen Zhui was slightly stunned.
But after thinking about it, I also understood Lin Ze’s thoughts.
Who doesn’t want to obtain such a great opportunity by yourself? This is human nature.
Don’t talk about him, Shen Zhui himself, after discovering the secret of the Blood Demon battlefield, didn’t he choose to hide it?
The nine palaces in the world of endless ferocious beasts are too involved. Once reported, although they can be rewarded in a generous way, compared with the Yinglong essence and blood and the blood source divine crystal, it is incomparable.
"Brother Lin, since you are willing to tell me such important news, then just say it straight!" Chen Zhui took a deep breath.
He also understood Lin Ze's concerns and immediately spoke: "Brothers settle accounts clearly. The ugly words are ahead. What do you want me to do? If you have something to gain, how should I distribute it."
"Although the treasure is heavy, I am unwilling to affect the relationship between you and me for this matter, and something I can't bear to say."
"Otherwise, brother would rather not go."
Lin Ze glanced at Chen Zhui, then shook his head and said, "Chen Zhui, do you still remember the battle between you and me at the commander's banquet?"
"Remember, Brother Lin won." Chen Zhui chuckled.
"But I only remember what you said." Lin Ze stared at Chen Zhui and said, "You walked towards me and said that even in the battle of incarnation, you would not want to stand opposite me."
"You are willing to fight to the death for the people of Heyuan County, and you will not hesitate to spend your life to ask for the gods."
"Then He Tong slashed you behind the back, but you remembered his preaching grace and refused to kill him."
"I can't trust others, but I can trust you Chen Zhui!"
"I wouldn't have discovered this without your help."
"When you go together in this trip, you and my brothers will share the blessings and suffer difficulties!"
……………………
Lin Ze left, and the time to detect the island in the center of the Sishui River and lake was set for two days, so it was reserved for the two of them.
"The Cave of the Venerable..." Chen Zhui stood above the commander's mansion, looking into the distance, with deep eyes.
In ancient times, there were 100,000 Taoist sects and 3,000 sects, and I don’t know how many powerful people dissipated in the long river of history. It is not surprising that a hidden cave appeared.
This matter is of great importance, and he must be well prepared.
Isn’t the place where the Venerable practice is that simple? But since Wugu can enter, they still have the opportunity to discover treasures from it.
"To detect the Venerable Cave, you must be well prepared. One point of strength is stronger and one point of protection is more. This is not only my safety, but also Brother Lin..." Chen Zhui murmured silently in his heart.
To be continued...
